. Croby sells these "wire rope fittings" and their name carries weight... The big plus to using these things is that they are rated at 100% of the cable capacity when installed correctly. Often times they are called "swage sockets"...

. I was taught to leave the vehicle in gear and allow it to help slow it down.

. That's pretty neat! I mean most times - when I get to go visit a museum - I don't get to drive my MV out onto the tarmac...

. And I was just about to start grousing about his truck being parked in a handicap parking place - until I noticed that there is a window hanger - most likely hanging on the wiper motor handle...

. Happy Birthday @Guyfang !

. Wow! It looks for the most part that it is unmolested... Congratulations on getting it onto a trailer and to your place. .

. Yep! That would solve the brake problem immediately! .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Nice looking vehicle.

I also found a LeTourneau Rolling Liquid Transporter. Designed to transport fuel for Operation Willow Freeze. And I found a manual... Of sorts... It was a mission to evaluate the Transportation Corps in a winter maneuver in 1960-1961 supporting two battle groups participating in the exercise

. Any chance you could haul those down from your magic stash? I did a quick web search and came up empty... I did discover a $34.00 download for a "TRANSPORTER, LIQUID, ROLLING WHEEL TYPE, 1000 GALLON, M6" called MIL-T-46743 (Printed in 1962). Also found mention of a Drawbar Assembly...

. Congratulations!! Glad to hear that you got it fixed... .

. Wow! And it even has a "pintle" so you could haul a second one behind the first... Air Brakes - or "air connected" for sure. Looks like you have all the parts you would need to pump out the fuel. Wonder how you fill those balloon tires?

. Yep. You got the "real mccoy"! The metal box and even the Hazards are metal as well.

. I am thinking your cap may well be "screwed". How do the threads on the tank look?

. Generally speaking, there should be a wiring diagram. Better yet, here is a list of Wire Numbers. (See Attached)

. Green Iron pulling Green Iron... Nice collection . . . .

. If your bearing is like most others, there should be a number on the side of it. Take it out and go to a bearing distributor company. They should be able to cross reference it or they may even have your part on the shelf. I use a company here in town and regularly buy bearings for a few...

. My opinion is that a regular fuel cap is the way to go. You can always use a little RTV on the inside of your new cap to keep the 4 holes in the top from corroding away over time.

. Like @TOBASH mentioned in the very first reply, the frame is not the ground for lighting (or anything else) on the HMMWV. The "grounding kit" can cause you more trouble than you already have by creating a ground loop. You should start with removing each connector and wire brushing the...

. Well... The theory you mentioned should have been correct. The truck should have pulled toward the tree - or the tree should have fallen. On the other hand, you may have hit a bump in the road. There may be a sheared pin in the winch. There might also be a check valve that could have been...
